[Vascular permeability and intravascular erythrocyte aggregation in young people after smoking cessation].

Aim: To study the parameters of microcirculation and permeability of the microvessels in young people who have ceased smoking.

Subjects And Methods: The study enrolled 35 healthy young adults (male to female ratio, 20:15; mean age, 21.71±0.

Microcirculatory Bed, Microcirculation, and Smoking-Associated Endothelial Dysfunction in Young Adults.

Computer-assisted video biomicroscopy of bulbar conjunctiva was employed to examine the sequelae of endothelial dysfunction manifested by microcirculatory bed abnormalities and microcirculation disturbances. The signs of endothelial dysfunction provoked by tobacco smoking in young adults disappeared after cessation of smoking, which resulted in pronounced widening of arterioles and capillaries as well as moderation of intravascular erythrocyte aggregation.

[Influence of smoking cessation on the microcirculatory bed in apparently healthy young people].

Aim: To study the influence of smoking cessation on the microcirculatory bed (MCB) in 33 healthy young people.

Subjects And Methods: The investigation enrolled 33 healthy young people (male/female (M/F) ratio, 20:13; mean age, 21.6±0.

[The concentration of homocysteine in blood serum among indigene and outsider population of priamurye].

The study evaluated the concentration of homocysteine in the most numerous groups of indigene population of Priamurye (Even, Ultch, Nanai) as compared with adjacent to them outsider population. The technique of random sampling was applied to select 82 Even, 89 Ultch, 95 Nanai and for comparing the representatives of outsider male and female population in statistically comparable numbers. The concentration of homocysteine was determined with luminescence immunoassay using the analyzer immulite 1000 (Diagnostic Products Corporation, USA) and applying Siemens kits (USA).

[The characteristics of lipid spectrum of blood serum in native and alien population in Amur region].

The study was organized to establish the distinctive characteristics of lipid metabolism among the most numerous ethnic groups of native population in Amur region (Nanay, Ultch, Even) as compared with alien population. The technique of random sample was applied to examine 297 Even, 792 Ultch and 1274 Nanay (83.4%, 83.
